We classify ivory not as a material but depending on the object usage. Only raw, un-worked materials are classified as “Natural Material.” From: The Museum System (TMS) Users <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Mahdi, Fatima Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2021 5:19 PM To: ListServ tmsusers <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Ivory as a TMS Classification External Email - Exercise Caution Good afternoon, TMSers! For those of you who have materials-based entries in your Classifications list, under what category do you include ivory? Do you have a separate entry? Is it bundled with something like "Natural Materials"? Thanks! Fatima -- Fatima Mahdi Collections Information Specialist/TMS Virginia Museum of Fine Arts 200 N.
